Can’t resume download because: Discarding the paused download (8.3.2)01/06/2017 14:31:491/5 By Guest5342I’ve been trying to download for two days. Get to a 1% then tne network resets and I have to start all over again. I run the console and can see it downloading until the wireless drops. Since it’s a MacBook, I don’t have any option but wireless, and I can’t download xcode directly

Please fix this so you can resume.

installation is a joke (8.3.2)27/05/2017 08:04:361/5 By Mat_rici have over 12GB available but the installer is insisting I need more space. How big is this!
complete joke and the MacOS purgeable space is not helping things either; purge and give me space to install.
come on Apple. If you want people to develop and stick with this eco system you’ve got to give them the tools to build for it

Is this thing even downloading??? (8.3.2)14/05/2017 16:42:481/5 By Aka Fire!I’ve clicked update and this spinning wheel has been going on for ages to the point I thought it might of crashed. So closed everything down and started again, also seeing that this thing is 4.51GB I thought “maybe its just gonna take a while”. So left it spinning & went to bed. Got up the next morning to check and its still spinning. WTF!!!
How can I get hold of this? Has anyone else had any luck with this?
This is a joke, sort it out please

Please give us a better way to update Xcode (8.3.2)12/05/2017 07:31:392/5 By Django79A single spinning wheel with no concept of if its downloading or if anythings actually happening really isnt good enough

I appreciate the effort…. (8.3.2)10/05/2017 09:46:012/5 By mikin1...to create an ever lasting impression of “progress”. However:
- code highlighting tends to disappera and then the whole text has one colour only
- code completion stops working and requires XCode restrat for it to start working again
- it doesn’t take care of required fileds in the app info.plist that is only discovered AFTER the app is “successfully” submitted
- it doesn’t convert launch images into launch story board
- it doesn’t provide any quick sample code reference as to how to replace deprecated SDK to achieve the same required functionality
- ….. and the list goes on….
but:
- i got plenty of useless suggestions how t:
- update project settings to recomended values
- fix warning
oh oh…..
There’s one improvement though, It doesn’t seem to be crashing as the previous version was. Brilliant...

Never fix things that need fixing (8.3.1)16/04/2017 21:20:061/5 By cbnewhamBesides all the complaints in the last review (which I don’t think you published), this version just crashes every 10 to 15 minutes. Why don’t you either fix XCode and make it like a standard IDE with proper windowing and other normal features, or let a 3rd party write a decent IDE with a proper UI editor. Please stop adding “features” and start fixing the bugs, at the very least!

it’s okay (8.3.1)13/04/2017 17:24:124/5 By honkeyspongeit’s okay…. syntax highlighting is a bit flakey but can be addressed easily. seems slower than other IDEs...

It stinks (8.3.1)10/04/2017 05:31:071/5 By Krush666i though i would never say this but the truth is XCode is rubbish.

All right at the end of the day (8.3.1)08/04/2017 06:49:242/5 By SomeOneInUKXcode 8.x
Rendered just about every book useless.
Not intuitive for people who have used earlier releases.
Apple, please stop re inventing the wheel.

SIGSTOP error: C++ (8.3)31/03/2017 13:06:361/5 By udunknoSimilar to Alakab123 below,
After the new update I can no longer run my C++ programmes as I have been before.
I receive a SIGSTOP error upon looking at my threads which does not allow for the program to finish completion. This so far only occurs during user input such as cin and getline but I’m having problems printing to screen also. I am certain this is a Xcode problem as the very same codes which worked in the past, and still do in terminal / othher IDE’s simply go wrong after the update.
This has severly affected my academic performance and programming deadlines. I hope it can be fixed soon. Till then, I’ll have to use school librarys sadly.
